for the official and his red flag. There
we stood, waiting with anxiety for the
train to dash past us, not knowing how
the strange horses would take to an en-
gine at full speed, with q train of cars
behind it. Finally, when we had about
lost all patience and wondered why the

The Dresden people have strange
ways and habits. Perhaps they would
think American customs are strange
II they 0me to the States. dare say
they would, but still feel like telling
some tales about Dresden habits which
may be interesting to you. The police
regulations here are exceedingly strict,
and one has to be on his p's and q's at all
times or he may get into trouble. The
other night several American ladies who
are living here happened to be in their
private parlor, which was on the ground
floor of the house, and in discussing the
adventures of the day related some
amusing incidents, whereupon the others
laughed, not loudly but merrily. Almost
instantly the bell rang and police officer
stood at the door and informed the
ladies that, unless the noise ceased at
once, he would arrest them. Alas the
poor young ladies had to retire and with.
hold their tales of adventure until day.

The lady got up and went toward the

up against the side of the house. In short

man went away when any one noticed
him and came back again when the coast
was clear. These maneuvres continued
until day break. OF course the lady told the

A Natural Wash Tub.

Mono Lake, in Nevada, is full of soda, borax, and other minerals in solution. The water of both Owens and Mono Lakes is natural detergent. The dirt fest and greasiest of clothing is made clean in half minute by simply rins- ing the article in the lake. It fathers naturally when agitated.
 When there is high wind, wall of studs three or four feet high is seen along the shore upon which the waves beat. This quivering wall-in which are seen all the colors of the rainbow, and as many beauties as are shown by kaleidoscopes-would grow to a height of ten or twelve feet before toppling over, but that when it attains a certain height the wind catches it up and waits great balls of it far inland. Some of these floating balloons of father are as big as flour barrel.
 As the prevailing winds are from the west, all vegetation on the western shore of the lakes is killed for distance of many rods. When there are unusually high winds the balls of studs are blown so far inland as to reach clumps of will lows and other bushes, the leaves of which are then seen to be scorched as though by fire.
 The water, just as 1t comes from the lakes, would make an excellent shampoo for the use of barbers, and the solid matter resulting from evaporation would make fine washing powder for laundry

BOOMING BOULANGER.
Crowds Gather in Paris to Do Him
 Honor while Absent.

Fifty thousand people shouting at the top of their lungs, !" Fipe BOuldn9er! Vice Boulanger!" came swarming into the Place de POpera at nine o'clock at night causing tremendous ex- citement and commotion.
 The Opera House was magniicently ilumin- ated and covered with flags and trophies bear ing the inscriptions "Pat,ie' and ''Derou." From the Military Club at the corner of the Rue de Ia Paix and the Avenue de fOpera directly opposite tho Grand Opera House, ..three batteries of electric lights shown full upon the faeade of the latter and its gilded Tyres, crowns and statues, setting forth the magnificent building Tn dazzling splendor.
 The occasion was the grand military festival organized by the army officers, over which General Boulanger, had he still been Minister of War, was to have presided-a duty that now devolved upon his successor, General Ferron During the whole day the people were very much excited.
 The first disturbance came of in front of the Chamber of Deputies, at the Quai Dorsay when several hundred students and men in blouses collected, reading aloud General Boulanger's farewell address to the army, shouting s'Vice Bouldnger!" and singing the ''Marseillaise." The police dispersed the crowd.
 Later the Parisians worked themselves up to fever heat, and paraded, thousands strong shouting for the resignation of the new Cabi- net, and the restoration of Boulanger, The Republican Guard was ordered out, and quiet was restored without physical conflict.

MORALS OF THE RED MAN.
A Criticism of the Government by
 the Indian School Organ.

Apropos of the recently published observa- tions of a Senatorial Committee investiga- ting Indian agencies, the Mor"inJ Star says:
 'sSo the Senatorial Committee were spccta- ters at an Indian dance It Will DC noted that tho despatch says nothing about their having visited the Indian school at tho Osage Agency. Their visit to the dance and omission of the school would indicate to the Indians that the dance was the important element of the res ervation life they wished to see. The fact that they came to criticise and condemn will probably never reach the Indians, who will rest under the belief that they did the most proper thing they could to entertain their great visitors. We do not disagree with tho sons the ossros would be if they did make progress when they have fifty miles square of land set apart for their exclusive use, from which is shut out in the most abso- lute manner every element of and necessity for instruction and progress pertaining to our civ. ilization except the mercst nominal showing of an agent and few employees.

  elevation of ali men-the government has in- dicated unmistakably its intention to starve and destroy these people mentally, morally and physically The statement, .'But to find that beings who had experienced the best efforts of American philanthropy for score of years had made no appreciable advance beyond the state of their savage ancestors was an un- expected and painful revelation shows plain ly that this committee of great men were completely blinded as to the facts. We have known the Osages for many years, and observ- ed their condition personally from time to time, and feel freo to say that the best efforts of American philanthrophy, as illustrated in what has gone to them, Is only paralleled in absurdity by the inquiries and criticisms .of the committee in regard to the young men alleged to be Carlisle graduates. Turning to our record, VIC find that we have had in all at this school eighty-four Osages; that none of them stayed with us over three years; that more than half stayed with us less than year, and that we have had no Osages at the school since August v, 1885, at which time the then about forty were ordered by the department to Mar tinsburg.

But the point upon which we would lay the most stress is the fact that there is no evidence that the committee made inquiries into the condition of the other eighty-two who 1oA hoap ok ola

Turning ont the Tenants.

The Bodyke tenants are offering all the op- position in their power to the Sheriff and his guard of police and troops, and find various means seriously to annoy the officers. In some of tho houses from which the occupants were to be eyicted cayenne pepper WAS burned, the fumes of which nearly choked the bailiffs. Boiling water was also thrown from the windows upon the evicting force. At two houses where evictions were effected collisions occurred be tween the police and the people, and number of arrests were made. When tho Sheriffs force arrived at the house of tenan. named Lyddy and ordered the family to leave, a daugh- ter of MT. Lyddy threw an iron hoop at a baiiff who attempted to enter the door. The hoop missed the bailiff, but struck police inspector. The girl was arrested. A brother of the girl was also arrested for melting the crowd to violence against the police. Another daughter of the tenant, who denounced the treatment her fam lily were receiving, was struck by policeman and felled to the ground. This maddened the crowd, and they advanced for the purpose of attacking the officers. Michael Davitt, who was present at the evictions, pleaded with the people not to use violence, and barely managed to avert @ collision.

CIRCULAR TO THE KNIGHTS.
The Revised Constitution and the
 Trade Assembly Law Questions.

Twelve thousand copies of a secret circular and revised constitution and laws governing the formation of trades assemblies have been sent out to all the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor from the general headquar- ters of the order, for approval. Among the most important changes recommended in the revised constitution are: Those de- barring runsellers from membership in the order and prohibiting local assemblies to have any social gatherings or picnics where liquor is sold on penalty of expulsion; establishing the rule requiring every local assembly to eb- tain permission of the district assembly to which it belongs before it inaugu-ate strike; and, lastly, those restricting the freedom with which members of the order have hitherto been able to attack or denounce their higher officers
 and members of the General Executive Board.
 The new law governing formation of national trade assemblies provides that local assem- plies, which are now attached to district assembly of 8 mixed nature, and which de- sire to form & national trade district by
 themselves, must first obtain permission of their district, and then forward their applica- tion to the general secretary, who will lay the matter before all the local assemblies of that craft in the country. The circular accom- panying the constitution and laws contains in- structions to the local assemblies to take vote upon the two documents and report the result to the general secretary not later than June 25.

 During a quarrel over game of cards ip John Boyes saloon, on New Years night, John Marone, twenty-nine years old, shot Do- menico Monzillo, an Italian grocer and res- taurant keeper, in the head, inficting wound from which he died in the Chamber Street Hospital.

Captain Eads' Successor.

Colonel James B. Andrews, of Allegheny City, will arrive home from Mexico in three weeks. A meeting of al the stockholders of the Eads Ship R ilway, at Tehuantepec, will then he called and the result of that gathering will probably be th,t Col. Andrews will be chosen as the late Captain Eads' successor as engineer of the gigantic project This will be step of the utmost importance to capitalists interested. Thirty wealthy gentlemen, iron manufacturers, have S15,O0oO 900 invested in the scheme. To have one of their own num- her 10 personally manage their interests, it is thought, will be an impetus to greater faith in the matter, while the fact that Captain Eads close business associate takes hold of the work just where he left it will encourage the national feeling as to the accomplishment of ;he task.
